"I love you." The blonde finally said, making eye contact with Zexion.

Zexion just looked at him.

The blonde managed to keep eye contact with the shorter teen, waiting for a reply. He didn't know what else to say, Zexion was about to walk out of his room and most likely his life, so he felt comfortable revealing his true thoughts. Yes, he did love Zexion. But what would Zexion say to his confession?

The slate haired teen stood there, his wrist still trapped in Demyx's grip as his mind processed what had been said. After a few more moments of silence, Zexion spoke up. "How do you expect me to believe you? After everything that's happened, how can you expect me to believe that you actually love me?" With that, Zexion ripped his wrist from Demyx's grip and spun on his heel, though he didn't walk away. Instead, he just stood there with his back to Demyx, waiting for the mullet haired teen to speak again.

"I don't expect you to, Zexy..." Demyx stood slowly and took two steps to stand behind Zexion. Slowly and unsurely he moved to wrap his left arm around Zexion's waist, and placed his right hand against Zexion's chest. The shorter of the two didn't pull away, which shocked Demyx.
Still acting slowly as if to not scare away the other, Demyx put a small amount of pressure on Zexion's chest with his right hand, keeping him in place.
"I just want you to know that I do love you, Zexion. I am so...so sorry for what I did, and I want you to be happy. If you're happy with me out of the picture, then..." he took a shaky breath, "Then I'll leave you alone. But, I need you in my life Zexion. I know it's selfish. But, I need you."

"I can never forget what happened, what you did and how you acted afterwards..." Zexion said in a whisper, not trusting his own voice to speak louder, in fear of his voice cracking.

"I know.." Demyx whispered back, lowering his forehead to rest on Zexion's right shoulder.

"But.." At the shorter teen's word, Demyx lifted his head slightly, "I can, over time...try to forgive you." Zexion still didn't meet the blonde's gaze,
but he did slowly lift his hand to cover the one on his chest. "I...I need you in my life, Dem. After what you did to me..I don't know. I couldn't take it.
I want to give you another chance."

Demyx stared past Zexion's shoulder to register all that had been said. Zexion was going to give him another chance. However, before he could reply to what Zexion said, the slate haired boy spun on his heels once more to face Demyx, a fierce glare playing on his features.

"But if you fuck up like that again, I swear to God I will have Saix tear out your testicles, deep fry them, murder you, then force feed the balls to your corpse." Zexion said in a low growl. This caught Demyx a bit off guard, but eventually he relaxed and pulled the short teen in for a hug.

"I won't hurt you anymore.." Demyx whispered into blue locks of hair so he could take in the other's scent, something he had missed.
"I love you, Zexion."

"I...I love you too, Demyx."Zexion spoke into the taller's chest, his own thin arms wrapping around the blonde so he could place his hands on his back.

For a long time, they just stood there, relishing in the others presence.

AN: Whew, sorry it took so long. I've been busy busy busy. Don't worry, it isn't the end of the story. There's still the matter of Saix -evil eyebrow wiggle- Please Review.

Anyways, I'm about to do some shameless self-advertisement so it would be awesome if you guys checked out my DeviantArt account.
I do cosplay tutorials and other things, so farI have my WIP Xion cosplay up and one tutorial.
I made Zexion's Lexicon and gave the step by step process of how I did it. I also plan on making two more tutorials; one for how to turn a nerf gun into a steampunk gun, and the second for how to MAKE a Key Blade.

I was irritated that whenever I tried to buy one online, because they ended up costing anywhere from 300-400 dollars. So I figured I could make one with some wood, paper mache and other things. So check out my profile if you're interested in tutorials or if you have any requests!
